I’m so thrilled to finally sit down with my mentor and teacher, Kathi von Koerber – artist, storyteller, and earth wisdom keeper. This conversation was nourishing, eye-opening, and filled with so much juicy wisdom for all to enjoy. Here’s what we explored:

Kathi’s Journey:

Growing up on five continents and what being a "global citizen" has taught her about humanity and connection.
Founding Kiah Keya (meaning "beginning of a new flower" in Quechua), a platform dedicated to preserving indigenous knowledge and connecting us to the Earth through art, ritual, and creativity.

Wisdom of the Elements:

Earth: How grounding practices, like planting trees or working with clay, can help us reconnect – especially in urban spaces.
Water: Simple rituals, from mindful hydration to honoring water during daily showers, and even charging water with crystals.
Fire: The transformative power of fire for letting go, transmuting energy, and creating renewal through rituals.
Air: Why many of us feel “heady” or scattered and how activities like sewing, artistry, or slowing down can bring balance and focus.

Rituals for City Life:

Practical tips to connect with nature, even in the “concrete jungle,” like greeting the morning sun or taking intentional moments for gratitude.

Kathi’s Offerings:

Upcoming retreats in Lombok (March) for those craving a hands-on experience.
Her online courses for women, focusing on earth wisdom, ritual, and initiations – with a new course, Initiation, launching soon!

Kathi is a true beacon of light, reminding us that Earth is home and that connection to it doesn’t require escaping to a far-off place – it starts with simple, mindful practices.If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or just craving some grounded wisdom, this episode is for you.
